FROM 1659 TO 1669

WITH MEMOIR

Edited by LORD BRAYBROOKE

Where sums of money are referred to, the abreviations 'l.', 's.' and 'd.' are used to designate 'Pounds', 'Shillings', and 'Pence'.

Pepys' spelling and punctuation have been left as they were in the printed text.

PREFACE TO THE PRESENT EDITION.

The Celebrated work here presented to the public under peculiar advantages may require a few introductory remarks.

The Diary and Correspondence of John Evelyn, published in the year 1817, is the first of the class of books to which special reference is here made. This was followed by the publication, in 1825, of the Diary and Correspondence of Samuel Pepys, a work of a more entertaining character than that of Evelyn. There is, moreover, another distinction between the two: the Diary of Pepys was written "at the end of each succeeding day;" whereas the Diary of Evelyn is more the result of leisure and after- thought, and partakes more of the character of history.
